Victor Valdes could find an unlikely route back to the Premier League in Man City

It is thought that the Etihad outfit will release Capital One Cup hero Willy Cabellero this summer and could find a replacement in the three-time Champions League winner.

Valdes signed for United in January of last year but made just two appearances as he became a permanent feature on the bench.

A lack of game time in the Premier League saw him loaned to Standard Liege and relations with then boss Louis van Gaal deteriorated after Valdes was accused by the Dutchman of refusing to play in a reserve game.
